London Shenanigans

I suppose the last bits of this blog will be more of a recollection of my Summer Travels than speaking of AC. However, I will at least be with AC people- and none of it would happen if it weren't for UWC. It's always connected.

LONDON

Day 1-

Arrived to Gabi’s apartment in Waterloo early afternoon, went to a pub to meet up with 30 AC students in the evening. Six of the most beautiful girls staying at Gabi's for the the next 3 days.

Day 2-

Camden with Shana and Chloe, shisha and people watching at its best. Pims at 6 on the Terrace while the sun set. Night out in London with the gang…

Day 3-

Met up with Second Years in St James Park. It was a beautiful sunny day J
 Searched 7 stores for teriyaki sauce for dinner with Gabi’s parents. Early night, the History Boys.

Day 4-

Move everything to Ece’s student room at UCL. Mission in itself. Dinner at a Korean restaurant. Hackney for the night, staying at Carys’ with Chlo and Rhys.  Watched the Great Gatsby- dazzling.

Day 5-

Museum hopping. National British Museum, Carys (who will be studying Art History in Cambridge in September) took me around her favourites, Ancient Egyptian and Greek. Lunch in China town, [Malaysian food ironically]. Another museum, though I do not know which one. Tons of Picasso, Manet, and Monet… fun listening to Konan and Chris Lowell’s interpretations of the paintings.

Dinner at Pizza Express with Chlo.

Billy Elliot the Musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre – it was amazing!

Day 6-

Not feeling too well… mission to move all of my luggage to Hounslow and spend time with my family. Chill.

Day 7-

Hummingbird Bakery cupcakes. Covent Garden performances. Lots of walking.

Day 8-

Canary Wharf, lunch with my second cousin Will. Camden Town: find a journal for Ilisha.
Found myself in  her aunts car on our way to Hammersmith to find fabric with Ilisha. Weird what can happen when you say yes and do things on a whim [obviously not my forte].

‘Crocktails’ [created cocktails] in the family backyard for the evening- incredible night.
